Suggestion to complete 8 day Switzerland itinerary
-
Hi All,
I will be arriving into Zurich on 21 Jun and setting my base in Luzern for 5 days and Moxtreux for 3 days before leaving to Paris.
Thumbs up for this informative website and i gathered quite a lot of info to plan my itinerary. However I have some questions which I hope to get some suggestions on where-else to visit. For this trip, we focus on scenic tours and normal travel pace to enjoy the country.
Day 1 – Wednesday, arriving into Zurich at 10am.
Zurich city tour and visit museum/art galleries.
Should I do the Lake Zurich or Rhine Fall or any other places before going to Luzern?
Take train in late afternoon/early evening from Zurich to Luzern, check-in hotel
Day 2 – Thursday
Visit old town, Lion Monument in the early morning, and then to Engleberg –> Mt. Titlis
Return to Luzern hotel and shopping in town, if time permits
Day 3 – Friday
Visit to Bern such as Old town, Bear pit, House of Parliament, Gruyeres
Return to Luzern hotel
Day 4 – Saturday
Visit to Mt Rigi by Boat to Vitzrau –> Cogwheel to Rigi Kulm.
Maybe try out Mineral Bath before returning to Luzern hotel
Day 5 – Sunday
Should I spend this day and visit to Basel or Lugano?
Return to Luzern hotel
Day 6 – Monday
Plan to take Goldenpass line – leaving Luzern to Montreux at 9.05 hours, then walk around Montreux town.Should I enjoy the panoramic ride until Montreux or it is better to stop at Interlaken for an overnight stay?
If I take the Goldenpass line, which sector is recommend to reserve for the 1st class seat to enjoy the view?
Day 7 – Tuesday
Visit to Geneva old town, flower clockReturn to Montruex hotel
Day 8 – Wednesday
Free for this day. Any recommendation on where to visit?
Return to Montreux hotel, and leaving on Day 9 morning to Geneva airport for flight into Paris.
Is the above itinerary too relax, too messy or any place that I shouldn’t miss to visit. For Day 2 to Day 5, I’m flexible to rotate the plan depending on the weather if it is suitable to visit the mountains.
I plan to get either the Swiss Travel Pass or Half Fare Card, and we will pay fare for the train ride from Montreux to Geneva airport for the Day 9.
Thank you for reading.
